[Prevalence of pain and musculoskeletal diseases in adult population in Osuna Health Management Area]. / Prevalencia de dolor y patología osteomuscular en la población adulta de músicos del Área de Gestión Sanitaria de Osuna.

OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of PRMD (playing-related musculoskeletal disorders) in adults exposed to it due to their profession, in the area of Osuna. DESIGN: It is a cross-sectional study. Site: the study is based on data collected in the local community of musicians (music schools, conservatories and music bands from the region). PARTICIPANTS: 264 individuals older than 18 years old have participated. INTERVENTIONS: semi-structured interviews were conducted. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: the main variables considered were: presence of pain or discomfort related to musical practice, socio-demographic variables defining the sample (age, gender, profession), variables characterizing the musical trajectory of the participant (instrument, number of years playing, number of hours of practice per week), perception of pain, area of pain, interference with their mood, among others. RESULTS: 76% of the musicians had experienced PRMD in some occasion, being more frequent among women (p = 0,009; IC 95%), string musicians (p= 0,041; IC 95%) and among those doing less physical activity (p = 0,000006; IC 95%). CONCLUSIONS: Studying the prevalence of playing-related pain was of great interest, given the potential interventions that could be applied in Primary and Community medical care.
